who has capacity to rate carnatic musician for number one position ? no One can. It is a ocean and yesteryear's great carnatic musician and present one know only a tea spoon of the same. Regarding the rasikas it only the individual liking about the musician.
You can say some leading performers based on the crowd pulling capacity and popularity. like Sudha ragunathan. Aruna sayeeram,Nithysree Mahadevan etc in female and T M Krishna, Sanjay subramaniam in Male.
My suggestion is to listen to all and do not fall for one. Because carnatice music is vast and each one is unique

Seems to me that, although different people have different names that, for them, put those people at the absolute peak of achievement, there is just one name that stands out as famous. Worldwide.

But... what does it matter?

I find a contradiction - The 'who' in the question makes one assume it is a person being sought, but the 'player' part of the question makes me wonder if the OP is looking for suggestions for a good music player to listen to CM on - like the media player, or something else.
